One of the Greater London Returning Officer’s responsibilities is to make sure that the London electorate, and the public in general, are fully informed of the conduct and results of relevant London elections. This was accomplished for the 2000 and 2004 Greater London Authority elections primarily through local posting of nominations and results, and through the publication of an extensive range of data and information on the London Elects web site. This new publication supplements those channels with a more studied and in-depth analysis of the results. It includes all the important information in a format which, it is hoped, will be accessible and useful to those who have not had access to the internet, or who prefer the more traditional forms of publication.

The 2004 combined London elections were the most complex ever undertaken in the United Kingdom. Voters elected the Mayor of London, 25 London Assembly Members and nine Members of the European Parliament for the London region. Aside from the European election, these were the second series of elections for the new system of regional government for London, following the inaugural elections in 2000.

The election officers again used electronic counting to enhance the speed and accuracy of processing. Electronic counting also facilitated the production of detailed analyses of voting for geographic areas smaller than the divisions traditionally used when analysing parliamentary and local authority election results.

Anthony Mayer Greater London Returning Officer Introduction

The electronic counting and analysis used in the 2004 London elections meant that although candidates were being elected for Greater London Assembly constituencies (in the Assembly election) and London as a whole (in the Mayoral, Assembly and European elections), besides being available for those areas (as in 2000), voting details were provided for the first time for the 33 local authority areas in London and for their constituent electoral wards. This last division of wards did not apply to the area covered by the City of London since several of their 25 electoral wards contain very few or no residents, and so data were provided instead for the three polling districts used by the City. Throughout the remainder of this report, references to wards in London should be understood to refer to wards in the 32 London boroughs and polling districts in the City of London. The disaggregation of the data into boroughs and wards introduced a small number of discrepancies at these levels which cannot be reconciled to the official results at constituency level. All of these differences are trivial in size.

This report will present the full results of each election for the Assembly constituency areas and summary results for local authority areas. Much analysis has been carried out at ward level and summaries are provided in the form of mapping.

The report begins by providing a summary of the final results. It then analyses voting in each of the elections in turn, treating the Assembly election as two entities – the election of the 14 constituency members as one, and the election of the 11 London-wide members as the second. The remainder of the report generally maintains this distinction, referring to the two parts of the Assembly elections as the Assembly constituency election and the Assembly list election as appropriate.

Brief analyses of turnout, rejected ballot papers, postal voting and manually-entered votes follow.

The performance of individual parties in the four elections are then studied, using mapping to illustrate voting patterns.

A brief analysis of the 2005 parliamentary general election is enhanced by comparison with the 2004 results reworked to approximate to parliamentary constituencies. A further brief analysis is provided of the 2006 London Borough Council general elections.

The commentary is complemented by a comprehensive set of detailed tabulations at Assembly constituency and local authority levels. The election results are also available on the London Elects web site. Summary

Just under 2 million people voted in these elections, the second time Londoners had been able to vote for their new-style London government of Mayor and Assembly and, at the same time, for Members of the European Parliament. With over 5 million eligible to vote, this represented a turnout of only around 37 per cent. However, turnout had improved by about 2.5 percentage points over the first of these London elections in 2000. By combining with the London elections, turnout for the European election was substantially improved, more than 60 per cent up on that of the previous election in 1999.

The principal results of the elections saw Ken Livingstone return as Mayor of London and the Conservative Party become the largest party on the London Assembly. The party had shared this position with Labour in 2000, but in 2004 Labour (and the Greens) lost seats overall to the Liberal Democrats and the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP).

In the European election, with London’s representation reduced from ten to nine seats since 1999, the Conservatives and Labour each lost a seat, and UKIP more than doubled their share of the vote (almost quadrupling their vote in numerical terms) to gain a seat.

One of the most interesting findings from this analysis is that a large proportion of electors chose to vote differently in each election. The table below illustrates this. Perhaps the most noticeable difference is in the support for the Labour Party. Ken Livingstone gained well over 200,000 more votes than the party achieved in any of the other ballots on the day.

A similar effect, but with much less impact, may be the reason for the Conservative Party’s increased support in the constituency member section of the Assembly election, particularly when compared with the party’s performance in the Assembly London-wide list section of the election.

The reduction in the Labour vote in the Mayoral election between 2000 and 2004 was very large when the Livingstone and Dobson votes from 2000 are viewed together. Ken Livingstone’s share, on his own account, reduced by 2.2 per cent between the elections, but adding Dobson’s votes from 2000 as well, increased the fall to over 15 per cent.

The differing voting patterns in the 2004 elections illustrate the difficulties of attempting to predict parliamentary election results from local or regional elections.

The election for Mayor of London is made on the basis of the Supplementary Vote System. This method requires the voters to mark their ballot paper in the usual way against the candidate of their choice, and then, if they wish, to indicate a second preference in a similar fashion. The first choice votes for each candidate are counted and if one has gained an absolute majority over all rivals, he or she is elected. If no one has achieved this figure the second choices come into play. All except the leading two candidates are eliminated. The ballot papers containing first preference votes for the eliminated candidates are inspected and any second choice votes for the remaining two candidates are counted. These second preference votes are then distributed appropriately to the two leading candidates and the one with the greater total of votes at this stage is declared the winner. In the unlikely event of a tie at this stage, the result will be determined by drawing lots.

In the 2004 election, no candidate gained more than 50 per cent of first preference votes. The leading contenders were Ken Livingstone with 36.8 per cent and Steven Norris with 29.1 per cent. The remaining eight candidates were eliminated and following identification and redistribution of the second preference votes Ken Livingstone was declared Mayor with 55.4 per cent of the votes included in the second stage (compared with 57.9 per cent in 2000).

Although Ken Livingstone increased his vote over the 2000 results by a little over 2.6 per cent, an increased turnout determined that his share of the overall first preference vote was reduced by some 2.2 per cent. Bearing in mind that in 2000 Livingstone was standing as an independent against the official Labour Party candidate, the overall fall in the combined Livingstone/Labour share is considerable – 15.2 per cent. Although some commentators have attributed this shortfall to the intervention of Respect, their vote in the Mayoral election falls far short of accounting for all the missing votes.

Steven Norris increased his vote by 16.8 per cent over the 2000 performance. When the increased turnout is taken into account, this still resulted in a 2 per cent increase in his share of the first preference vote. The first preference vote represented a two-party swing of 3.2 per cent from Livingstone to Norris (the more common calculation of total-vote swing gives 2.1 per cent but this fails to isolate the two primary contenders). In contrast, the swing in overall votes used in the second phase count was less at 1.3 per cent. This is an indication that, although Norris increased his first preference support far more than Livingstone (16.8 per cent against 2.6 per cent as noted above), the increase in his second preference vote was smaller (25.1 per cent compared with 31.6).

The Liberal Democrats increased their vote by almost 40 per cent and their share by almost 3.5 per cent. They moved up from fourth to third place, but this improved performance still left them short of second place by over 250,000 votes.

Only one of the remaining candidates achieved more than 5 per cent of the first preference vote. That was Frank Maloney for the UK independence Party. The party’s vote increased more than sevenfold between the elections which may reflect the greater impact of European politics even in this regional election. The only party or grouping to experience a reduced vote, notwithstanding the increased turnout, was the Christian People’s Alliance whose 2004 performance fell 362 short of that in 2000.

| Both choices for same candidate | 807 | |---------------------------------|-----| Second preference votes

The table opposite shows the destination of second preference votes by the voters’ first choice. Each row shows first preference with the columns indicating the destination of second preferences. Thus, for example, in the 2004 election 231,565 of the voters whose first preference was Livingstone, gave Hughes their second preference vote. People who chose to give both votes to the same candidate or who failed to indicate a second choice will have wasted their second preference vote, but nevertheless these figures are of some interest and are included in the table. They will be discussed in more detail later in the report. The rows showing total second choice votes do not include the duplicated choices.

In 2004, Ken Livingstone was the principal second preference for all non-Labour voters except for those choosing BNP, UKIP or Conservative as first choice. In the case of both Labour and Conservative first choice voters, the Liberal Democrat candidate was the second choice. This single fact ensured that Simon Hughes was by far the most commonly selected second choice candidate. Those who made the BNP and UKIP their first preference, chose UKIP and Conservative respectively as their most favoured second preference.

These patterns are somewhat different from those evident from the 2000 results. The Liberal Democrat candidate was again the most popular second choice for those voting Labour, Conservative or independent (Livingstone) as their first choice. In this case the same was true for those voting CPA as their first preference. Ken Livingstone was the favourite second preference for those voting Green or independent (Tanna) with their first. On this occasion Steven Norris was the second choice for those voting PMSS, BNP, Liberal Democrat and (again) UKIP.

In 2004, voters whose first choice was German, Livingstone or Norris were the most likely to forgo the chance to use a second preference vote (all more than 16 per cent).

The proportions making no second choice in the 2000 election were generally higher. More than one in five Dobson and Norris voters fell into this category. Indeed over 35 per cent of Dobson supporters either failed to make a second preference vote or gave him both votes.

Further details of the results of the elections for Assembly members are to be found below on the pages immediately following and pages 97 to 128. Full lists of candidates nominated are given on pages 225 and 226. Summary details of the results are shown opposite.

The ballot for constituency members resulted in the election of nine Conservative and five Labour candidates. Electors voted for these 14 seats using the left-hand side of the ballot paper and the winners were decided with the first-past-the-post system. Voters used the right-hand side of the ballot paper to vote for the remaining 11 Assembly seats which were decided using the modified d’Hondt formula.

There is a description of the d’Hondt method in the Appendix (page 229) and its use in the 2004 Assembly election is shown in detail here.

The first step was to count the votes cast for each of the parties or individual candidates in the London-wide list section of the ballot (these totals are shown on page 13). Any party or candidate gaining less than 5 per cent of the London-wide vote was then eliminated from further participation in the process (see opposite). This eliminated the BNP, Respect, the CPA and the Alliance for Diversity in the Community. The remaining five parties were passed forward to the next stages.

The number of seats won in the constituency element of the election were carried forward to this stage and the number of votes gained by each remaining party in the list element of the election was divided by the number of seats already won plus one. For example, the Conservatives won nine seats in the constituency election and gained 533,696 votes in the list election. The 533,696 votes were divided by ten (9+1) giving 53,370 (rounded) to take forward into the first round of the d’Hondt process. Clearly, since only the Conservatives and Labour won seats in the constituency election, the other three parties carried all their votes through (their votes being divided by one – i.e. zero seats already won plus one).

The votes carried through to round one were inspected (the row labelled 1 opposite). It can be seen that the Liberal Democrats’ total was the largest in this round (316,218) and so the first candidate on the Liberal Democrats’ list was declared as elected (Lynne Featherstone). The process was then repeated. In the next round all parties except the Liberal Democrats carried their totals through from round one. The Liberal Democrats now had one seat and so their total was divided by two (1+1) giving 158,109 to carry forward to round two. In this round the Greens had the largest total and were awarded the next seat, the first candidate on their list being elected. The process was then repeated until all 11 seats had been allocated and this can be followed using the table opposite.

London Assembly members are elected using the Additional Member System (AMS) also used for elections to the Scottish Parliament and the Welsh Assembly. Under this system voters have two votes, one to elect a member for one of the 14 constituencies, and the second for a party or individual on a London-wide list. The first of these, the constituency election, is decided on a first-past-the-post system, the system traditionally used in British elections, and thus familiar to the electorate. This part of the election is discussed here and the London-wide list part later.

Overall in the 2004 constituency elections, Labour lost one seat, Brent and Harrow, to the Conservatives compared with 2000.

The contrast in voting patterns between the Mayoral and Assembly elections at constituency level is clear. Labour’s large lead in the Mayoral election was overturned by the Conservatives in the Assembly constituency vote in both 2004 and 2000. In 2004, they ‘won’ nine of the 14 constituencies, one more than in 2000. Compared with the 2004 Mayoral election with around 60,000 fewer valid votes cast, the Conservatives gained an extra 20,000 votes. Notwithstanding this they polled 2 per cent less than in 2000. Their biggest drop was in Bexley and Bromley where UKIP had their best showing.

Labour, on the other hand polled 240,000 fewer votes than in the Mayoral election, more than a third of their Mayoral total. Between 2000 and 2004 the party lost about 7 percentage points of support. This led to their losing one of their seats on the Assembly – Brent and Harrow. Support was eroded across the whole of London, from the 3 percentage points reduction in Enfield and Haringey, and Merton and Wandsworth, to the loss of almost 17 percentage points in the City and East London. This last constituency also saw the strongest result from Respect whose candidate came third, ahead of both Liberal Democrat and UKIP.

The Liberal Democrats gained five second places, one more (Bexley and Bromley) in 2004 than in 2000, but only in the South West of London and Lambeth and Southwark (areas of strong Liberal Democrat support) did they come close enough to threaten a win. In those constituencies they came within a little over 4,000 votes of the Conservative winner in the first and within about 5,500 votes of the Labour winner in the second. In two other constituencies they ran second to the Conservatives (Bexley and Bromley, and Croydon and Sutton), and in one, to Labour (North East). In terms of overall votes, the Liberal Democrats increased their votes by about 10 per cent over 2000, but their share was depressed by about 0.5 of a percentage point.

Following little more than a token presence of one candidate in the 2000 election, UKIP put up a full slate and gained just over 10 per cent of the vote, supplanting the Greens as the fourth placed party. In Bexley and Bromley, they exceeded 26,000 votes, pushing the Labour candidate into fourth place. In one other constituency, Havering and Redbridge, they also achieved a third place, albeit a fairly distant one behind the Conservatives and Labour.

The Green Party was the only minor party to enter the full 14 candidates in both 2000 and 2004 elections. However, only in Merton and Wandsworth was the party able to improve its position between the two elections. Its best performance in both elections was in the North East constituency.

Respect appeared for the first time in the 2004 election, putting up the full 14 candidates. Overall they failed to achieve 5 per cent of the vote, but did pass that figure in three constituencies in North and East London. In particular, their result in the City and East London was especially significant, gaining almost 20,000 votes, 15 per cent of the constituency total, which took them to third place there.

Of the remaining candidates in 2004, only the CPA covered all 14 constituencies, but none reached 4 per cent of the vote. In the Havering and Redbridge constituency, residents’ candidates stood in both 2000 and 2004, but their vote was almost halved between the two elections. In 2000 two independent Labour candidates, who expressed support for Ken Livingstone, stood (one in Enfield and Haringey and the other in Merton and Wandsworth) and both gained over 10,000 votes.

The voting in the Assembly list election was broadly in line with that in the constituency elections. In terms of ‘winners’ (treating the contest as first-past-the-post in the same way as for the constituency election) in each constituency the only change was in Ealing and Hillingdon where Labour ‘won’ in the list election in 2000 but the Conservatives ‘won’ in the 2004 constituency election.

However, as described above, the list election is used to ‘top up’ the results of the constituency election to provide the full 25 Members, giving a distribution more in line with the overall voting than would be achieved through a ‘first-past-the-post’ system. There are therefore, 11 seats to be allocated in this manner.

In 2004, these seats were distributed as follows: Labour 2, Liberal Democrats 5, Green Party 2, and the UK Independence Party 2. The table below summarises the results for both 2000 and 2004 and more details of the process can be found on page 11 and in the appendix, page 229.

The simple fact that in the first-past-the-post element in 2004, the Conservatives, for example, gained over 60 per cent of the available seats with just over 30 per cent of the vote demonstrates the relative success of the system in matching seats more closely to votes, since following the final distribution, the party gained 36 per cent of the seats from around 30 per cent of the vote. As can be seen from the table, similar outcomes apply to the other parties shown. No other party beyond the five listed, passed the 5 per cent threshold in the Assembly List election although two, Respect and the British National Party, came close.

Interestingly, there are differences in the results for the constituency and list elections in both 2000 and 2004. It may be that electors were subtle enough to distinguish between the different facets of the election, but, in respect of the main three parties, the differences between the constituency and list phases was greater in 2000 than in 2004. Support for the three major parties in the constituency election declined by almost 10 percentage points. Their support also dropped in the list election but by less than 4 percentage points. This shift in support resulted in a movement of one seat from the major to the minor parties.

The European election now is conducted on the basis of proportional representation within regions using a pure form of the d’Hondt formula. London is a single constituency in this election. Between 1999 and 2004 London lost one seat in the European Parliament and now returns nine Members. Further details of the voting system are to be found in the appendix (page 229), and nominated candidates and parties are listed on page 227.

In 2004, the Conservative and Labour Parties both gained three seats (each one fewer than in 1999), and the Liberal Democrats, UK Independence Party, and Green Party one each (UKIP’s seat representing a gain over 1999). The operation of the d’Hondt formula was similar to that used in the Assembly list election but there was no lower limit on the percentage of the vote required to gain seats. Thus the Conservatives won the first seat with the highest overall vote, and their total was then divided by two (1 seat plus 1) for the second round. The first person on the Conservative list, Theresa Villiers, was thus elected. All other party votes were divided by one (0 seats plus 1). The Labour Party won the second round and so their vote was divided by two for the third round, and so on. The table opposite traces the whole process.

In terms of the simple vote, the Conservatives ‘won’ in 2004, whereas labour ‘won’ in 1999, but both parties lost vote share in 2004. The Liberal Democrats, UK Independence Party, Green Party and British National Party all increased their share of the vote. The substantially increased turnout meant that some of these parties were able to increase their actual number of votes by very large margins. The BNP more than quadrupled their vote, UKIP increased theirs 3.75 fold, the Liberal Democrats’ vote more than doubled, and the Green Party was close to doubling its vote. Of course, the Liberal Democrats were starting from a considerably higher base, particularly over the BNP, but the gains were substantial.

The BNP’s rise came from a low base and in actual votes was lower than the increase for any other party entering candidates in both 1999 and 2004. This increase was close to the vote for the Christian People’s Alliance which did not take part in 1999, and was substantially lower than the vote for the other main new player, Respect. The largest gainer of votes was the UK Independence Party which increased its vote by over 170,000, with the Liberal Democrats next with almost 156,000.

For 2004 we have the breakdown of votes by Assembly constituency. Conservative or Labour ‘won’ every constituency (seven each) but in five constituencies, one of those two parties did not emerge as ‘runner-up’. In three the Liberal Democrats came second, Lambeth and Southwark, North East and South West, and UKIP came second in Bexley and Bromley. In the City and East London, Respect took second place to Labour, reflecting their good showing in the other 2004 elections in that area.

Note: the previous elections were held in 2000 for the Mayoral and Assembly and 1999 for the European. Turnout

Almost 5.2 million people in London were registered to vote in the 2004 elections with around 130,000 fewer entitled to vote in the European election. The lower figure was due to the difference in qualification rules for the London and European elections.

In the Mayoral and Assembly elections, turnout was about 37 per cent, around 2.5 percentage points up on that in 2000.

The highest polls were returned in Bexley and Bromley with percentages around 41.5 and the lowest in Lambeth and Southwark and in the City and East London at around 33.4, although this figure was only about half a percentage point lower than that in the North East Constituency.

The European figure was slightly higher than those for the other elements of the 2004 elections, arising from the electorate differences noted above. The turnout of 37.6 per cent was also substantially higher than in the previous European election held in 1999. The rise, by more than 14.5 percentage points, meant that over three quarters of a million more people voted in 2004 than in 1999. It seems likely that the increase resulted, at least in part, from holding the election at the same time as the London Mayoral and Assembly elections.

Note: examples of spoiled ballot papers can be found in the Appendix. Spoiled ballot papers

Perhaps surprisingly at first sight, rates of rejection of ballot papers varied substantially between the four elections in 2004.

Since the two parts of the Assembly elections used the same form, rejections were identical for reasons related to the ballot papers themselves (papers which had been marked in ways which could enable identification of the voter, and where the official mark was missing from the forms) rather than the votes recorded on them. Across all the elections, rejections for these reasons were few relative to the total number of votes cast, and also to the total numbers of spoiled papers. But there were still more than 1,500 ballot papers discarded in these ways.

Again perhaps surprisingly, by far the greatest numbers of rejections were in the Assembly constituency polls – the only election of the four carried out using the traditional first-past-the-post system. Well over 100,000 votes were rejected in this election (over 6 per cent of those attempting to vote), the vast majority on the grounds that the form was blank or the voters’ intentions uncertain. It may be that some voters were confused by the constituency member list appearing alongside the Londonwide list with the latter showing party names prominently. There was a much lower number of rejections of this type in the Assembly list election (some 80,000 fewer). On the other hand, the constituency election saw fewer rejections on the grounds of ‘voting for too many candidates’ than any of the other elections, perhaps because voters were more familiar with this form of election.

The Mayor and Assembly list elections both resulted in around 50,000 spoiled papers, but distributed differently between the reasons. In the Assembly list poll, a little over two thirds of the rejections were for blank or uncertainly marked forms. As noted above, the numbers here were considerably lower than in the constituency member elections, and also in contrast to those polls, a fairly large number of people attempted to vote for too many parties or candidates (14,575 people – about three times the number in this category in the constituency elections). Uniquely in the Mayoral election, over half the spoiled papers arose from voting for too many candidates.

The European election resulted in by far the lowest rates of spoiled ballots with less than 1 per cent. While sharing, in terms of voting, the same method with the Assembly list, rejections due to blank or uncertainly marked forms were a little over a third as high and errors of multiple voting less than half. This may again point to the layout of the Assembly form which may have confused some voters.

In individual constituencies, the City and East London recorded the highest rejection rates in all four polls. In this area, more than one in ten ballot papers were blank or uncertain in the constituency election, and one in twenty in the Mayoral poll. Bexley and Bromley constituency consistently achieved the lowest rates (although equalled by the South West in the Assembly list election).

Overall, the rates of rejection were substantially reduced from the 2000 London elections, when close to 1 in 10 papers in the Assembly constituency poll were spoiled. The exception was in the Mayoral election where almost 50 per cent more ballot papers were rejected in 2004. There was also an improvement in the number of rejections on the basis of marks on the ballot papers which could identify the voter. Rejection on the grounds of lack of the official mark appear not to have been recorded in 2000.

About one in seven voters chose not to make a second preference vote for Mayor or did not fully understand the system. This proportion was down substantially from 2000 but still represented over a quarter of a million voters.

Comparison of the rates in the European poll with those from the last previous such election in 1999, shows decreased rates of rejection based on problems with the ballot papers but the reverse in the other categories arising from blank forms or over-voting.

Note: These figures are percentages of all postal ballot papers included in the count. Postal ballot papers

Around a quarter of a million voters used postal voting in the 2004 London elections. This represented about 13.5 per cent of all those voting.

There was considerable variation in the percentage across the Assembly constituencies, from 7.7 per cent in Brent and Harrow to 18.3 per cent in Barnet and Camden (despite the geographical proximity of these areas). Generally, between 1 and 2 per cent of postal ballot papers were rejected in the Mayoral election and, consistently, a lower percentage in the European election. However, there was a notable difference between the two Assembly elections. While the Assembly constituency election showed a higher rejection of postal ballot papers than the Mayoral election, the Assembly List rate was lower in every constituency bar one – Ealing and Hillingdon. This argues that postal voters found the list elections, Assembly and European, less confusing than the Mayoral in which they had two possible votes. And perhaps more surprisingly, the least successfully completed postal ballots were in the Assembly constituency election, the only one of the four held in the traditional first-past-the-post basis, but this was in line with experience in the elections overall.

At borough level there was exceptionally high use of postal voting in Hackney and the City of London, in both cases postal ballots representing over 35 per cent of the papers included in the count. At the other end of the scale, postal voting was used by less than 7 per cent of voters in both Brent and Islington. Although there was necessarily more variation in rates of rejection at borough level, the worst figure was 5.3 per cent in Newham in the Assembly constituency election.

The rates of spoiled papers among postal votes were substantially below those overall: typically, they were about half those rates. The only exception was in the European election in which the rates were close to the overall rates for all voters, but as already noted the overall rates in this election were already relatively low.

Note: These figures are percentages of all manually-entered ballot papers included in the count. Manually-entered ballot papers

Relatively few votes were entered manually, between 5,400 and 7,000 in the four elections – less than half of 1 per cent. In no constituency did that figure exceed 0.80 per cent. The conditions under which ballot papers were entered manually are discussed in the technical appendix (page 230).

Although a relatively small number, these votes were treated separately in the analysis in the same way as postal votes, being allocated to borough only, not to electoral ward. They were also extremely susceptible to rejection.

Around one in ten of these votes were rejected – slightly more (one in seven) in the Assembly constituency election, and slightly less (one in seventeen) in the European election. Within these figures, there was considerable variation. In the Assembly constituency election the rejection rate rose to close to one in five ballot papers in two constituencies, the City and East London and the South West; only in two constituencies was the percentage lower than 10 per cent – Merton and Wandsworth, and Ealing and Hillingdon. This 10 per cent figure was bettered in all constituencies in the European election and in ten (of the 14) in the Mayoral election and eight in the Assembly list election.

As might be expected there was slightly greater variation in the incidence of manually-entered votes at Borough level. However, in very few boroughs did the percentage of votes entered in this way exceed 1.0 per cent (Hackney in the Mayoral election and Lewisham in the Assembly). In several boroughs in the Assembly elections, the percentage rejected exceeded 20 per cent, the highest being Barking and Dagenham with 25.8 per cent in the constituency election.

The rates of rejection of manually-entered ballot papers were broadly similar to those found generally across the elections. The most notable exception was in those relating to a lack of official mark on the paper. All the rejections for this reason were of manually-entered papers. In most cases, this factor explained the excess in the rate of spoils for manually-entered ballot papers above the overall rate for all the elections. The incidence of blank or uncertain manually-entered papers in the European election was also higher than in the overall analysis. The parties' performances BNP - percentage votes within wards

The BNP took part in three of the elections in 2004 – they did not enter candidates in the Assembly constituency election.

The first three maps opposite, chart the party’s success in the elections shown by the percentage of the vote gained in each ward in London, excluding postal and manually entered votes. As the legend indicates, the shading deepens at 10 per cent intervals, and thus it can be seen that the BNP achieved their greatest success in the Assembly list election. They gained more than 20 per cent of the vote through much of the area covered by the Dagenham Parliamentary Constituency.

The BNP’s greatest support is to be found at the Eastern and Western extremities of London in Barking and Dagenham and Havering, and Hillingdon, and to a lesser extent in Bexley and Hounslow, with smaller groupings to the North and South in the Northeast of Enfield and Southeast of Croydon.

The maps throughout this section on party performance allow direct comparison of different parties’ showing by using the same banding. This shows that although the BNP obtained a measure of success in a few isolated areas, they did not gain enough support consistently across London to turn votes into seats.

A more detailed picture of BNP support across the whole of London can be gained from the fourth map (on this page), which shows all the votes the party gained in their best poll, the Assembly list election. This confirms the evidence of the first three maps of a strong showing in the far East and West, but shows that the BNP also gained a sizeable part of their total vote from the whole of Southeast and South London, and to a lesser extent from Northeast and North London. Conservatives - percentage votes within wards

Assembly constituency election

European election Conservative Party

The darkest shading on the four maps opposite occurs where the Conservative Party received more than 50 per cent of the vote recorded in a ward. Comparison of the maps shows that the party consistently gained this level of support in three areas of London, Stanmore and Edgware in North West London, Chelsea, Belgravia and Knightsbridge in West Central London and Wimbledon in the South West. Their weakest areas were centred North of the river, on a ribbon of wards stretching from Leyton in the East in a Westerly direction to Tollington and Stroud Green. To the South a group of wards around Walworth and Camberwell saw their poorest showing.

The Assembly Constituency election gave the Conservatives their best showing across London as a whole, with particularly strong support in three belts, along the North West boundary, from the West End to Coombe Hill towards the South West and, in the South East, from the Crays to Coulsdon. The party’s performance in the Mayoral election produced a more even distribution with both fewer high spots and fewer low.

The map on this page shows the distribution of Conservative voting in the Assembly Londonwide list election across the whole of London. However, this map reinforces the evidence that the Conservatives’ support is drawn particularly from areas around the boundary of London and from large parts of West London generally. The exceptions in West London are to be found in and around Southall, Hayes and Hounslow, and Stonebridge, Harlesden, Hammersmith and North Kensington. The Eastern side of inner London reaching into the North and East of outer London proved to be relatively unproductive areas in terms of Conservative support. Greens - percentage votes within wards

European election The Green Party

The Green Party made very little impact in the Mayoral election, failing to achieve 10 per cent of the vote in any ward in London. However, in the other three elections their pattern of success was very similar, with 10 per cent support in much of the Northern and Southern parts of inner London and running along both sides of the river to the South Western boundary.

The party achieved better results in an area to the North of Camden, Islington and Hackney, running into the South of Haringey, and, not surprisingly in Brockley and Ladywell, the area of Lewisham where they have their one local councillor in London.

Turning to the distribution map on this page, the two wards which contributed more than 50 votes in 10,000 to the Green Party’s total London vote were, again, Brockley in Lewisham and Herne Hill in Lambeth. Otherwise, support was fairly evenly distributed with emphasis on the areas already highlighted above. Labour - percentage votes within wards

The four maps opposite demonstrate a clear distinction between Labour’s support in the Mayoral election and that in the remaining three polls. In the Mayoral election, Ken Livingstone’s vote exceeded 10 per cent in every one of the 624 wards in London boroughs and in the City of London. Indeed, there were only five wards in which he failed to achieve 20 per cent of the vote. The areas which saw his greatest support were, broadly, a large area running up the Lea Valley from Hackney Wick to Tottenham and spreading West to Highgate, a slightly smaller area South of the Thames from central Lewisham to Brixton running up to the river at Deptford, and several outlying centres around Southall and Harlesden in the West, Bowes and Bounds Green in the North, Woolwich in the East, and Thornton Heath and Tooting in the South.

Support for Labour in the remaining three elections was a good deal more patchy. They consistently failed to gain 10 per cent of the vote in the South Eastern corner from Biggin Hill to Petts Wood. In the Assembly elections they had similar difficulties around Knightsbridge and High Street Kensington. The Assembly constituency member election saw a particularly low set of results in Richmond, Wimbledon and in the West of Sutton through to Coulsdon. This final area around Cheam and Coulsdon East was also weak in the European election.

However, some of the areas in which Ken Livingstone prospered in outer London, also proved successful for Labour in the Assembly and European elections. Southall, Harlesden and Peckham all gave Labour more than 50 per cent of the vote in each of these three elections.

The vote distribution map on this page shows a relatively even spread with a single high point in Southall. There were, on the other hand, considerable tracts of lower support in the North West, the South East, and particularly in the Conservative and Liberal Democrat strongholds in the West End boroughs and the South West.

European election **Liberal Democrats**

The four maps opposite show that the Liberal Democrats consistently had their best results in the South Western boroughs of Richmond, Kingston and Sutton, in Orpington and in the area of North Lambeth and Bermondsey where they have long held a parliamentary seat. Examination of the non-Mayoral polls shows an area centred on Muswell Hill where the party also performed relatively strongly. It is also evident that the Liberal Democrats did rather better in these three elections than in the Mayoral poll – perhaps because many people’s expectation was that this election would be between the Labour and Conservative candidates. This view may be reinforced by the fact that the Liberal Democrats’ Mayoral candidate, Simon Hughes, was the most popular second choice candidate by some distance.

The party’s poorest showing came in the North East and in the Lea Valley. In the Mayoral election they did rather better in the areas around and beyond Romford, and rather worse in the Lea Valley and Newham. There is also an area around Southall and Hayes in the West where the Liberal Democrats consistently failed to reach 10 per cent of the votes.

The distribution shown on the map on this page, reinforces the conclusions drawn in the paragraphs above. In this case, the apparently very strong showing in Orpington and adjacent wards may, in part, be an effect of the large electorates in those wards, as a result contributing heavily to the total London Liberal Democrat vote. The relative lack of support in a continuous area from the Eastern and North Eastern boundaries to the Lea Valley is particularly noticeable. Respect - percentage votes within wards

European election Respect - Unity Coalition

It is very clear from the four maps opposite, that support for Respect was localised in the 2004 elections. The extremely strong vote evident in and around East Ham and between Whitechapel and Bromley-by-Bow is not repeated anywhere else in the capital. The area in which the party gained more than 10 per cent of the vote is broader in the non-Mayoral elections but remains largely confined to the North East quarter of inner London edging into the surrounding boroughs. Markhouse ward in Waltham Forest is the only ward outside the core area identified in the Mayoral election, where the vote exceeds 20 per cent in each of the other three elections, but the same feat is achieved in Forest ward in Waltham Forest and Leabridge in Hackney in one of the three polls.

The pattern of high concentration is confirmed by the distribution map on this page. This map does show that, in addition, there is a level of support throughout a considerable part of London, particularly North of the river. The largest vote outside the East London core, can be found in Southall in West London and Tooting in South. UKIP - percentage votes within wards

Assembly constituency election

European election United Kingdom Independence Party

The four maps opposite show that the UK Independence Party’s (UKIP) performance led to the greatest differences of any party in patterns of support across the four elections.

In the Mayoral election, the party’s support was strongest in the far East and West with a limited number of pockets elsewhere in outer London. The Assembly Londonwide list election saw UKIP with increased penetration in the North, West, South and South East as measured by the spread of wards where the party gained 10 to 19 per cent of the vote. In the East, the spread increased very little, but UKIP gained more than 20 per cent of the vote in almost half of the wards in the area.

Moving on to the Assembly constituency election, UKIP’s spread of support changed very little beyond slight increases from both East and West towards the centre. However, the core areas identified in the Mayoral election now contained extensive areas where the party’s vote exceeded 20 per cent, and in much of the Dagenham parliamentary constituency the vote topped 30 per cent.

Finally, the European election saw increased support throughout the whole of outer London, and through inner London along the line of the Thames. Most of the core area from the Mayoral election was now seeing figures in excess of 20 per cent of the vote although, in contrast to the constituency election, UKIP failed to gain 30 per cent of the vote in any London ward.

The distribution map on this page shows the very heavy concentration of UKIP’s vote towards the extremities of London and particularly in the East. The four Havering wards around Upminster provided a particularly large part of the party’s support. This also illustrates the point made before about the part played by large wards in maps of this kind. Those four wards in Havering are large in terms of electorate with more than 9,000 registered electors compared to the 6 or 7,000 which might be expected in inner London wards, or even in neighbouring Barking and Dagenham. One of these wards, Upminster, is also very large in area, leading to an even more dominant effect on the map. This does not alter the fact that UKIP drew their support largely, but not exclusively, from outer London, with very strong areas on the Eastern fringes, and to a lesser extent, to the North, West and South. Support was rather less marked in the North West and South West. The Christian People’s Alliance gained more than 10 per cent of the vote in only one ward in the whole of London, and this pattern was true of all four 2004 elections. That ward was Canning Town South in Newham.

Not surprisingly, that same ward is clearly visible in the distribution map shown below to the left. Other than in this ward, the party’s support was fairly evenly spread across the capital, rather less in North West inner and South West London and rather more towards the South and East. Residents

Residents Associations only took part in the Assembly constituency election, and in that, only in the Havering and Redbridge Constituency, an area where they have a long history of activity in local politics.

The upper map to the right shows that they had a substantial presence in Upminster and Cranham wards and lesser success in Pettits ward, all in Havering.

The second map shows that the associations gained most of their support from Havering with similarly strong support in Aldborough and Mayfield wards in Redbridge. This map would be misleading if compared with similar maps on previous pages of this report, because other parties drew their support from the whole of London.

Note: the distribution will be biased towards wards with larger electorates and also visually biased towards larger wards in terms of area. The parliamentary general election 2005

Labour remained the largest party with 44 of the 74 parliamentary seats after the 2005 election in London. However, the party lost one in five of the 55 seats it had held after the 2001 election.

Eight of those seats had been lost to the Conservatives who added to the two East London seats of Romford and Upminster they had regained in 2001 following their disastrous showing in 1997. The swings to achieve the gains varied from 2.7 per cent to 8.7, with two of the smaller swings resulting in the smallest majorities: in Croydon Central (4.4 per cent, majority 75) and Hornchurch (2.7 per cent, 480). All were areas which had been held by the Conservatives in the past, albeit with different constituency boundaries and all would have been expected to fall to the Conservatives with a moderate swing against the government. They might also have expected to gain Enfield North but Labour held on with relatively little change from the 2001 result.

The Liberal Democrats added Brent East and Hornsey and Wood Green to their portfolio, again at the expense of Labour. The first of these they had first taken at a by-election in September 2003 with a total party swing of 29 per cent from Labour. This position was consolidated in the 2005 election this time with the swing registering 30 per cent from 2001. Hornsey and Wood Green was taken with a swing of just 14 per cent, but this came on the back of a swing of similar proportions (13 per cent) between 1997 and 2001.

Perhaps the most significant result was in Bethnal Green and Bow, where Respect ousted the sitting Labour MP. All three of the major parties lost votes (both in absolute numbers and in share) despite an increase of more than 5 per cent in turnout. The fall in Labour’s share was twice the London average, and the Conservatives’ and Liberal Democrats’ falls were in contrast to increases across London as a whole.

Overall, the Liberal Democrats increased their share of the vote the most. The Conservatives and the Greens both improved by over 1 per cent and UKIP by about 0.5 per cent. Respect was a new player, and all the remaining minor parties listed opposite made small gains. The rest of the candidates, shown as ‘Others’ suffered a reduced share. This group consisted of 87 candidates in 2005 and gained an average 267 votes. The comparable group in 2001 consisted of 85 candidates who gained an average 504 votes.

With the increase in electorate and turnout, some 160,000 more people voted in 2005 than in 2001. Only six constituencies bucked this trend, Croydon North, Ealing Southall, East Ham, Ilford South, Southwark North and Bermondsey, and Tottenham, all, except the Southwark constituency, in a ring around inner London.

The lower table opposite summarises the seats won in the 2001 and 2005 elections and compares these with the notional results of the 2004 elections based on first-past-the-post and reworked to parliamentary constituency boundaries. The distinctive result of the Mayoral election among the 2004 results is plain, as is the fact that none of the 2004 outcomes is particularly close to the parliamentary results. None of the 2004 outcomes give the Conservatives as few seats as they gained in either 2001 or 2005. The opposite was true of the Liberal Democrats performances in 2001 and 2005 when they won more seats than in any of the notional results from 2004. The Mayoral and European elections both gave Labour an absolute superiority in seats in 2004 but the European result gave Labour a much smaller share of the ‘seats’ than the parliamentary elections. Further analysis follows in the next pages, using maps based on these results. The maps on the facing page and on this page to the left, show the differences between the parliamentary elections in 2001 and 2005 and the London elections of 2004 pictorially. The Conservative gains around the Northern, Southern and Eastern boundaries are clear. The introduction of Respect and the expansion of the Liberal Democrats can also be seen but these are, at the moment, isolated intrusions into the Labour strongholds.

The four maps from the 2004 elections show the first-past-the-post voting patterns translated into parliamentary constituencies. They display the points already made about the differences between the elections but it is clear that none of them accurately reflect or predict voting in either the 2001 or 2005 parliamentary election. It is interesting, however, that two of the maps show Liberal Democrat support in Hornsey and Wood Green, and two show Respect’s strength in Bethnal Green and Bow, in these cases presaging the events of May 2005. On the other hand, UKIP’s showing in Dagenham was not predictive of a strong performance at the parliamentary election and none of the 2004 maps hint at the Liberal Democrats’ success in Brent East.

The London Borough General Elections of May 2006 broke the mould in several ways.

Following 12 years of continuously reducing turnout in London from the peak in 1990, the poll was higher; but remained the fifth lowest of the 11 similar elections held in the capital since the inception of the London boroughs in 1965. In terms of elected councillors, the Conservatives had their best result since 1982, and the Liberal Democrats, their second best ever.

Labour, again in terms of elected councillors, had their worst result except for the 1968 election, when the Conservatives won over 75 per cent of seats in London. The minor parties had their best result ever, with 74 seats, more than double their total in 2002 and more than their previous best years in 1964 and 1968, when residents’ and ratepayers’ associations were very active in several boroughs.

However, a striking element of the 2006 results was the performance achieved by the Greens, the British National and Respect Parties. The first of these had won just two seats in 1998 and one in 2002 in previous London local general elections. In 2006 the Greens took 12 seats on the back of an improved share of the vote across London. They gained 4.6 per cent of the vote, by far the biggest share achieved by any minor party in the last 20 years.

The British National Party first appeared in a local general election in London in 1990. The 2006 elections saw the BNP take seats at a general election for the first time. Their 13 seats, one more than the Greens, was achieved with only about a tenth of the Greens’ vote, showing a much more focused approach in terms of where they fielded candidates. They may have gained even more seats had they put up more candidates in the wards where they had successes.

The Respect Party was taking part in a borough general election for the first time. From this zero base, they won 15 seats. Like the BNP, their approach was geographically focused, but their vote was about three times that of the BNP.

Both the BNP’s and Respect’s success was focused in East London with the BNP winning seats in Havering (1), Redbridge (1) and Barking and Dagenham (11), and Respect in Newham (3) and Tower Hamlets (12). In contrast, the Greens’ successes were spread across six boroughs, only gaining more than one seat in Camden (2) and Lewisham (6).

In 2006 29 seats were won by Residents Associations and other candidates campaigning on specific local issues. This was exactly the same number as in 2002.

Comparing the map opposite with those on page 2 shows that the pattern of voting in the 2006 borough elections followed that of the 2004 elections reasonably closely.

The spread of the Liberal Democrat vote was perhaps more pronounced in 2006, particularly in North East London and in the West of the borough of Haringey in North London. The stronger performances of Respect and the BNP in 2006 are not reflected in the map because all of the BNP seats and nine of Respect’s came in split wards. The UK Independence Party which featured quite strongly in 2004 was not in evidence at all in 2006 with just half of one per cent of the London vote.

Borough by borough commentary

Summary results for individual London boroughs are found from page 187.

The most significant factor in the result in Barking and Dagenham was the success of the British National Party (BNP). Despite their winning more than a fifth of the available seats, due to the party not fielding a full slate it was unable to take all three seats in any ward. This masks the fact that the BNP was successful with 11 of their 13 candidates, and that ten of the 11 were returned with the highest votes in their ward. In contrast the Liberal Democrats who had been in second place in 2002, fell right away to finish last with only a little more than 1 per cent of the vote. In fact, the party put up only four candidates but three were in the ward which they won in 2002.

The Conservatives consolidated their position in Barnet having lost control briefly in 1998. Labour lost share to all other parties. Except for the previously mentioned and exceptional election of 1968, the Conservatives had their best result in Bexley in 2006 in terms of seats won, and Labour their worst. The Liberal Democrats who had achieved around a quarter of the vote in three past elections saw their support reduced to less than 10 per cent.

Brent returned a hung council after eight years of Labour control. However, in this borough it was Liberal Democrat success which affected both Labour and Conservatives. They increased their vote by over 12 percentage points, resulting in an additional 18 seats. The changes came mostly in the South East of the borough where the Liberal Democrats picked up seats from both Labour and Conservatives, reflecting for the first time at local level, the party’s recent success in Parliamentary elections in that area. It is noteworthy that the party holding the largest number of seats gained these from the third largest count of votes.

Eight years after losing control of Bromley for the only time, the Conservatives gained one of their biggest wins. The gains made by the Liberal Democrats in terms of seats during the 1990s were reversed, and the Labour Party, with four seats, had its worst result in the borough ever, including the 1968 election when they won five.

Labour lost Camden for the first time since 1968. With a relatively small loss of share of the vote (around 5 percentage points) but retaining the largest share, Labour lost almost half of their seats. The Liberal Democrats are now the largest party with the Conservatives increasing their representation and the Greens taking their first seats at a local general election in Camden as well.

Over the 40 years since the London boroughs were established, Croydon has generally had Conservative administrations. However that did not hold true between 1994 and 2006, when the borough had a Labour council. The election of 2006 marked Croydon’s return to previous patterns. A sharp drop of almost 20 percentage points in Labour’s vote, led to the loss of five seats which was sufficient for the change in political control.

The first eight London borough elections resulted in four wins each for the Conservatives and Labour in Ealing. The next three elections, from 1994 to 2002, were all won by Labour. Thus, 2006 saw the Conservative’s first success for 16 years. Despite increasing their share of the vote, the Liberal Democrats lost a seat overall. The theory espoused by some media pundits, that Ealing is a bell-wether borough for Parliamentary general election results appears to have some merit. There have been 11 such Parliamentary elections since 1965, and in only one, that of 1987, was the winner not the same as the controlling party in Ealing at the time.

Enfield is another borough which over time has generally been Conservative controlled. In 2006, the Conservatives retained control but, against the trend elsewhere, with reduced representation and with a swing to Labour. This was, in part, due to the intervention of a group of residents pursuing a single issue. This group gained more than 6 per cent of the vote with nine candidates and won two seats in otherwise Conservative wards.

Labour have generally (except during 1968–71) controlled Greenwich. With that exception, 2006 saw them achieve their lowest number of seats although the smaller council (51 seats as against 60 or 62 before 2002) is a factor in this.

Hackney is another borough traditionally controlled by Labour. The party failed to win a majority in 1968 and 1998. In the second of these elections the Liberal Democrats gained their best ever result with 17 seats and the Conservatives had their best return (12 seats) other than in 1968. In 2006, the Greens won a seat (their first other than two in 1998). Hackney is one of three London boroughs which have a directly elected mayor. The Labour mayor was returned with 47 per cent of the first choice votes and 73 per cent after the second round.

Until now, 1968 and 1978 were the only years in which Labour failed to gain an overall majority in Hammersmith and Fulham. The results of 1968 can be seen as abnormal, and with this exception, 2006 was the first time that the Conservatives achieved a majority. The size of the majority (20 seats) is therefore notable.

Labour have only failed to win Haringey on one occasion – in 1968. The Conservatives failed to win a seat for the first time in 2002 and the party’s reduced share of the vote ensured no Conservative seats at this election in 2006. The Liberal Democrats have steadily increased their share of the vote since 1990 to the point where they are running a close second to Labour with 27 of the 57 seats. The geographical split in representation is very clear from the map.

**Harrow** is another borough where the Conservatives have generally, but not always, been the largest party. The Conservatives took over from Labour which had been the largest party in both 1998 and 2002. The Liberal Democrats’ strong showing in terms of seats through the 1980s and 1990s has almost vanished, although their vote recovered from the local disaster of 2002 when many of their nominations were rejected prior to the election.

**Havering** has long been the stronghold of residents’ members in London. Their total of 16 seats in 2006 was lower than their showing in any election since 1990 but higher than in any election prior to that. The Conservatives have their first majority administration since 1986. No single party had achieved a majority in the interim. Havering was one of the East London boroughs which returned a BNP councillor, one of only two BNP candidates who stood in the borough.

In only two elections between 1986 and 2002 were there clear winners in **Hillingdon**, and in one of these (1990) the Conservatives and Labour were left on 35 and 34 respectively. The 2006 election resulted in a clear victor – the Conservatives. Despite increasing their raw vote total and share, the Liberal Democrats emerged with five seats fewer than in 2002.

With the single exception of 1968-71, **Hounslow** has consistently returned a Labour council. In the 2006 election, Labour remained the largest party but short of a majority by some distance. The Conservatives picked up eight additional seats while increasing their share of the vote by less than one percentage point. Groups of residents have achieved more success in recent years with eight seats falling to candidates not aligned to major parties in 2006.

In **Islington**, the gradual increase in the number of Liberal Democrats seats over the past 16 years has been checked. In 1998 the council was equally divided between the party and Labour but in 2002, the party achieved a majority for the first time. In 2006, they remained the largest party but the Greens’ single seat prevented another equal share with Labour. The Labour Party gained the largest proportion of raw votes in Islington for the first time since 1994.

It can be argued that **Kensington and Chelsea** has been the most constant of the London boroughs. It was more than twenty years since a ward changed politically other than through boundary alterations. The loss of St Charles ward by Labour in 2006 is thus an event of some note although it was the most vulnerable (in terms of swing required) of Labour’s wards in the borough.

The Liberal Democrats held an absolute majority in **Kingston upon Thames** for the third time in the last four elections. This was despite the party’s vote being reduced substantially in 2006 to finish below that of the Conservatives.

**Lambeth** was one of the few London boroughs which saw little or no reduction in the Labour vote. The Liberal Democrats’ vote in 2006 fell away to close to its 1998 level and their presence on the council was reduced accordingly, but the other parties failed to capitalise on this and despite their standstill in terms of vote share, Labour were the beneficiaries. The Greens gained one of their 12 seats in Lambeth.

**Lewisham** returned their directly-elected Labour mayor for a second term. He gained 38 per cent of the first vote with the Liberal Democrat candidate second, and 57 per cent of the second round vote. In the council election, Labour failed to gain an overall majority for the first time since 1968. Their share dropped by more than 12 per cent from the 2002 figure and their seat count was down by 19. The Liberal Democrats had their best result by a large margin with 17 seats against their previous best of four. The Greens took six seats, improving on their 2002 showing of one, and their best result in London, and the Socialist Alternative gained two seats, doubling their 2002 tally.

**Merton** returned a hung council for the first time since 1964. The Conservatives were the largest party for the first time since 1986 when they held a narrow one seat overall majority. Residents have held seats on Merton Council for much of the borough’s existence. Merton is another borough which shows a marked geographical split in political support.

Not since 1982-86 have there been as many members in opposition to Labour on Newham Council, and one has to go back a further eight years to find an opposition of greater than six. Even so, Labour’s share of the raw vote fell by almost 20 percentage points from 2002, and the Respect Party, in their first outing in the borough general elections, took more than a quarter of the vote to return three councillors having contested all 60 seats. The Christian People’s Alliance held their seat from 2002 and added the remaining two seats from the same ward. These three seats remained the party’s only successes in London. Newham was one of the three London boroughs which elected their mayor directly. Newham’s Labour mayor was returned with 48 per cent of the first votes, with the Respect candidate second, and 68 per cent at the second stage.

Redbridge had experienced a Labour (minority) administration for the first time in 1994 and again in 1998. Otherwise, the Conservatives have run the borough throughout its existence, winning again in 2006. The BNP won one of their seats in Hainault ward, having put up three candidates across the borough.

The Liberal Democrats had formed the administration in Richmond upon Thames from 1986 until 2002 without a break. The Conservatives won the borough back at the 2002 election, but 2006 saw the Liberal Democrats returned to power. Labour have won seats in only five of the 12 London borough general elections, and no other party or grouping has won a seat since the first ever election of 1964.

Although the Liberal Democrats have done well in terms of seats in Southwark since 1986 (and since 1982 in terms of votes when they gained almost a quarter of the votes with no success in seats), it was only in 2002 that they exceeded Labour’s total of seats and votes. The 2006 results saw the party resuming second place in votes but holding the same number of seats as Labour. Southwark was one of the few London boroughs where Labour’s vote increased over 2002. For only the second election ever, a seat fell to someone outside the three major parties, with the Greens taking a seat in South Camberwell.

The Liberal Democrats have held power in Sutton since 1986. 2006 was the party’s worst result in seats since 1990 but they retained their majority. The Conservatives increased their share of the vote by more than six percentage points which gave them an additional 14 seats. The Labour Party failed to gain a seat for the first time.

The story of the 2006 election in Tower Hamlets centres on the Respect Party. They gained 12 seats, by some distance their best performance in London, contesting 48 of the 51 seats in the borough. The Labour Party lost more than a quarter of their share of the vote and came close to losing their majority in the council for the first time since the Liberal Democrats controlled the borough for eight years from 1986 to 1994. That party’s support has fallen away with their worst result (in terms of seats) in the borough since 1974. The Conservatives won their first ever seats in Tower Hamlets. Even in 1968, they failed to win a single seat. The major demographic shifts which have taken place recently in Docklands may be a factor in this change.

The Liberal Democrats strengthened their position in Waltham Forest at the expense of both the other major parties. The Greens and Respect both made advances but not to the extent of winning seats.

The Conservatives had their best ever result in terms of seats won in Wandsworth. It is now almost 30 years since Labour held this borough which until then had been widely regarded as part of their natural heartland. This is the first election in which they failed won fewer than ten seats. With the single exception of one in 1982, no other party has won any seat in the borough.

The Conservatives and Labour maintained the status quo in seats in the City of Westminster. With the Conservatives retaining an almost identical share of the raw vote, Labour lost around five percentage points with the Liberal Democrats benefiting, but not sufficiently to gain seats.

ELECTING MEMBERS FOR THE LONDON ASSEMBLY

There are 25 members of the London Assembly: 14 Constituency Members and 11 London-wide Members. The Assembly is elected using the Additional Member System (AMS), which combines elements of first-past-the-post and a form of proportional representation using the d’Hondt formula.

Voters cast two votes: one for a Constituency Assembly Member and one for the independent candidate or political party they would most like to see represented in the Assembly on a London-wide basis. A facsimile of the voting form is shown to the right.

Constituency Members each represent one of London’s 14 Assembly constituencies, comprising between two and four boroughs. They are elected by the traditional first-past-the-post system, where the candidate with the most votes in a constituency is elected. If there is a tie lots are drawn by the constituency returning officer.

If all Assembly Members were elected in this way, independent candidates or parties whose votes were spread right across London but added together made a significant total, might not win any seat. All the people who had voted for those candidates would have no representation to voice their political views in the Assembly, making it less representative of London as a whole.

This is where the second vote for an independent candidate or party comes in. These votes are counted and then the number of constituency members is topped up with 11 additional London-wide members, using a modified d’Hondt formula (see later in this section), where seats are allocated on a pro rata basis to parties or candidates with over 5% of the votes cast.

Applying the d’Hondt formula means that the total number of Assembly seats given to a party reflects the intentions of the electorate, while still including members who are directly answerable to constituencies.

In the past, British elections mostly used the first-past-the-post system. This system often creates an imbalance between the number of seats a party has and its share of votes cast. In the 2000 London election for Assembly constituency members, which used first-past-the-post, the Conservative party had 33 per cent of the votes but 57 per cent of constituency member seats. The Labour Party had 32 per cent of the votes, but 43 per cent of these seats. The Liberal Democrats and the Greens had no seats, but had 19 per cent and 10 per cent of the votes respectively. Under the first-past-the-post system, all votes for candidates other than the winner are rendered irrelevant in determining the political structure of the elected body, thus ignoring the wishes of those voters. The d’Hondt formula seeks to redress this imbalance.

The European Parliament elections This used the pure d’Hondt formula (see below).

The d’Hondt formula Victor d’Hondt was a Belgian lawyer, professor of civil law at Ghent University, and a mathematician. He devised this seat-allocation method in 1878. The process in practice can easily be followed by reference to the Results Chapter at the beginning of this report (pages 11 and 19) but the following describes how the system works.

The calculation is carried out using all the votes cast in the election.

In ‘round one’, the votes cast for each party or individual candidate are examined and the one receiving the highest number gains the first seat.

In ‘round two’, the total number of votes for each party or candidate is divided by the number of seats that each party has already won plus one. In other words the party or candidate which won the first seat has their vote divided by two and all the others have their vote divided by one. The results of this calculation are examined and the party or candidate with the highest number wins the second seat.

The process is then repeated until all seats have been allocated, with, at each round, the parties’ or candidates’ votes being divided by the number of seats they have already gained plus one, and the party or candidate with the largest result from this calculation gaining the next seat.

In the Assembly election, the intention is that the overall political composition of the Assembly should reflect as far as possible, the distribution of votes cast across the whole of London. The seats won in the constituency member stage of the election are, therefore, taken into account in allocating the London-wide seats. A d’Hondt formula is used to allocate the London-wide seats, modified to allow only those parties or individual candidates who have gained more than 5 per cent of the vote to be considered.

In the European election, the pure d’Hondt system is used where the 5 per cent minimum qualification is not applied.

The conduct of the election DRS, Data and Research Services plc provided the e-counting system for the 2004 London elections. DRS designs and manufactures its own e-counting software and hardware for specific needs, and has extensive elections experience. In May 2003, DRS provided a successful e-counting system for the first multiple council elections in the United Kingdom in County Durham.

DRS provided the electronic vote-counting for the first Mayoral and London Assembly election in 2000. The system worked well and the results were announced by lunchtime the following day. Minor problems which arose in 2000 were addressed and resolved, and the software for the 2004 election was greatly improved, not least by the ability to detect and take an image of doubtful ballot papers.

The electronic counting or ‘e-counting’ used, involves scanning ballot papers through specially designed machines rather than counting them by hand. These machines automatically count the vote (or votes) on each ballot paper. This means that multiple votes using different voting systems can be counted at the same time. Once the votes are counted, the system calculates the results for each election.

E-counting was chosen because it is very accurate and the ballot papers would take too long to count by hand with the three different voting systems being used, and voters casting five votes on three separate ballot papers. Machines can count these efficiently and quickly, whereas a manual count of the ballot papers would have taken days.

London Elects was the office involved with planning and managing the organisation and publicity for the elections. It reported to the Greater London Returning Officer (GLRO) under separate budgetary and reporting lines from the GLA.

In the election for the Mayor of London and London Assembly, each London borough had a borough returning officer (BRO) who was responsible for identifying polling stations, appointing staff, conducting the election and sending out postal votes. However, responsibility for the counting of votes rested with the constituency returning officer (CRO). London Assembly constituencies are made up of between two and four London local authorities. The BRO of the constituency’s largest borough (usually the one with the most registered voters) became its CRO.

For the European election, there was a regional returning officer (RRO) for each of the UK’s 12 European parliamentary regions, who was responsible for organising a fair and accurate election. London was one region. The RRO announced the results of the European Parliament election well after the declaration from the London elections, once all polling stations across the European Union closed.

The GLRO was responsible for overseeing the election for the Mayor of London and the London Assembly across the whole of London. The role is designated as the responsibility of the ‘proper officer’ of the Greater London Authority (GLA), according to the GLA Act 1999.

The GLRO announced the results of the Mayoral election and the London-wide Assembly Member elections and CROs declared the results in their home constituencies. The GLRO cannot order a London-wide recount – recounts can only take place at constituency level and this responsibility falls to CROs.

Anthony Mayer, the chief executive of the GLA, was both GLRO and London RRO. He was appointed to the GLRO role by the London Assembly, and as RRO by the Department for Constitutional Affairs. Both roles had deputies. The deputy GLRO was John Bennett, Head of Assembly Support at the GLA and the deputy RRO was David Wechsler, chief executive of Croydon Borough Council.

**Electronic counting (e-counting)**

Elector in the London elections had five votes:

- a first choice for Mayor of London
- a second choice for Mayor of London
- one vote for a constituency member of the London Assembly
- one vote for a London-wide Member of the London Assembly
- one vote for a Member of the European Parliament

Voters inserted their completed ballot papers into ballot boxes at the polling station. Voters were asked not to fold their ballot papers, as this would slow down the e-counting process. When the polling station closed, the ballot boxes were taken to the constituency counting centre, which was under the control of the CRO. Ballot papers from each polling station were then removed and organised into piles with a control sheet, which listed the number of ballot papers issued by the polling station. Each control sheet was scanned, and the number of papers entered into a database. Ballot papers in each pile were then fed through the same scanning machines.

The scanner performed a number of operations at the same time. It checked the ballot paper against various security features to ensure it was genuine. It counted the number of ballot papers being fed through it, recorded how each vote had been cast and stored images of doubtful ballot papers (where the voter’s intention was unclear).

**Manually-entered ballot papers**

Images of all doubtful papers were taken and stored for later adjudication by election officials. They decided how to interpret the voter’s intent and entered votes or the reason for rejecting them separately into the database. Any ballot papers that could not physically be fed through the scanner (e.g. if torn or screwed up) were entered manually into the database by an election official. The number of ballot papers scanned was then verified by comparing it with the number issued on the control sheet. If there was a difference in these numbers, election staff investigated and were able to re-scan batches of ballot papers. Once the numbers had been confirmed, the count data was stored.

The count took place in 10 venues across London, known as count centres, starting on the morning of Friday 11 June 2004.

Once the counting and adjudication process had been completed, the data was stored and sent securely to City Hall for approval by the GLRO.

**Spoiled ballot papers**

The example alongside (to the right) illustrates a valid use of two votes cast in the Mayoral election. Clear marks have been placed against candidates in both the first and second preference columns.

While the example illustrated below would not be rejected, the voter has placed both marks against the same candidate and the second preference vote would not be carried forward into the second round of the count.

In the next example, the voter has placed two crosses in the first preference column, and in this case, the ballot would be rejected on the grounds of ‘voting for too many candidates’. In the case shown below, the elector has placed the cross exactly on the line between two candidates and a scrutineer would not be able to decide the intention of the voter. Thus this ballot paper would also be rejected on the grounds of ‘uncertain or blank’.

The case illustrated on the right shows a ballot paper where the votes have been cast correctly, but the voter has written a name on the form, thus, potentially allowing identification of the ballot paper. The paper would be rejected on the grounds of ‘writing mark by which voter could be identified’. The mark would not have to be a full name but any mark which might be related to a person’s identity would lead to rejection of the ballot paper.

Each ballot paper had a bar code (not shown on the examples) and polling district and elector’s numbers. If, this area of the form became damaged, whether by accidental or deliberate action, and it was not possible to determine what they had been from the remnants of the form, the ballot paper would be rejected on the grounds of ‘lack of official mark’. In all elections there is the possibility of legal challenge and in some of these cases it becomes necessary to track the voting process and confirm that the ballot paper can be associated with an elector who did attend a polling station or submit a postal ballot. This process is activated very rarely and is essential in order to combat fraud. Thus any ballot paper which is incapable of passing through this process is rejected.

Any ballot in the Mayoral election which had been rejected, for whatever reason, at the first preference stage, would not be passed forward to the second preference count.

The basic processes for rejection in the Mayoral election apply equally in the Assembly and European elections. Data Management and Analysis Group (DMAG)
